Union Square?), I recommend Golden Star on Walter U Lum Place or its sister, Golden King on Clay, across the street from the end of Walter U Lum. Both have very good pho, and Golden King has great bun (haven't tried the bun at Golden King).

Pagolac has a tasty seven course beef menu. Wed Aug 03 23:12:10 -0700 2005 180685 0 jlhsu
